Extended Picks
#1
Starts with Tokens and consumes one when a Survivor is first hooked on a Scourge Hook to damage the most progressed generator and make repairing Survivors scream. Disables once all Tokens are spent.
#2
After damaging a generator, increases its regression rate and highlights its aura. Also triggers loud noise notifications when Survivors hit good skill checks while repairing that generator.
#3
After each Survivor is hooked for the first time, gains a token and later blocks all Generators once you move far enough from the Hook. Once fully charged, also reveals the Obsession's aura.
#4
Highlights generators being repaired by multiple Survivors within range and triggers a loud noise notification when first revealed. The highlight briefly lingers after the condition ends.
#5
When a generator is completed, makes all Survivors scream with a Loud Noise Notification and reveals the Killer's aura to the Obsession. Once the Exit Gates are powered, the Obsession becomes Exposed and can be killed in close proximity.
#6
Converts several hooks into Scourge Hooks and highlights their auras. While carrying a Survivor, reveals nearby Survivors around Scourge Hooks, and alerts the Killer when a hook is being sabotaged.
#7
After your first hook, a dull totem becomes a Hex Totem and generator auras show repair progress; once four generators are completed, remaining generators explode, lose progress, and begin regressing, then the hex totem dulls and the perk disables.
#8
After hooking a Survivor, reveals the auras of other Survivors who are far from the hook.
#9
After damaging a generator, reveals the auras of nearby Survivors for a short duration.
#10
At the start of the Trial, converts several hooks into Scourge Hooks and highlights their auras. Each time a Survivor is unhooked from a Scourge Hook, reveals the auras of the other Survivors briefly.
#11
After hooking a Survivor, the next manually damaged generator immediately loses a portion of its current progress. Deactivates after use or when its timer expires.
#12
After damaging a generator, highlights it, and when a Survivor is put into the dying state, highlighted generators explode and begin regressing. Survivors repairing those generators scream and have their auras revealed.
